That's exactly the point. There is nothing prohibiting them from doing that but they don't do it anyway because it makes life a little more difficult for them while making like substantially more difficult for the debt holder. Parent post is suggesting enforcing an inversion of that dynamic - put more power in the hands of the debt holder and less in the hands of the debt owner. A law is absolutely required to overcome the natural incentives at play, if that is the goal.
